Excerpt from The Early Development of Mohammedanism: Lectures Delivered in the University of London, May and June 1913

Throughout, an acquaintance with the elements of the subject, such as can be obtained from the writer's manuals,1 has been assumed in the reader; in order, however, to render the Lectures intelligible by themselves, all allusions which could occasion any difficulty have been explained in the Index.

The writer terminates this Preface with a tribute of gratitude to those Mohammedan scholars in Egypt and India who during the last few years have put into our hands so many texts of the highest import ance for the study of Arabic antiquity; and another to the audiences who deemed these lectures worthy of their attention.

THE EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF MOHAMMEDANISM LECTURE I the koran as the basis of islam It is a noteworthy fact about the Mohammedan system that since the Migration it has demanded no qualifications for admission to its brotherhood. To those who are outside its pale it in theory offers no facilities whatever for the study of its nature ; a man must enroll himself as a member first, and then only may he learn what his obligations are. The Koran may not be sold to Unbelievers ; soldiers are advised not to take it with them into hostile territory for fear the Unbeliever should get hold of it; and many a copy bears upon it a warning to Unbelievers not to touch. Pious grammarians have refused to teach grammar to Jews or Christians, because the rules were apt to be illustrated by quotations from the sacred volume. The Unbeliever is by one of the codes 1 forbidden to enter a mosque; and even when 1 Malik. See Baidawi i. 10, 12. 1 1
